Over in a Flash
 Flashmobs are indicative of the digital age, organised rapidly by mobile or social media: a group of people assemble in a public place, do something bizarre, and disperse. Where in the west the events are largely pointless, in Ukraine, perhaps in reference to the fact the issues faced by this country are more second than first world, they often take on a political bent. Regardless of the reason, however, Ukrainian flashmobs continue to gather more and more people at each event. Read on to find out why.

The Offspring Taps the Fountain of Youth
 One of the best-selling punk rock bands of all time, who have officially sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, The Offspring is coming from sunny California to tell you “Days go by, but we remain young!” The lyric stems from the title track on the group’s ninth long-play Days Go By released last year, and this week they bring the track and their extensive back catalogue to Kyiv.

| Ukraine Today |
 There are approximately 1,500 kids currently serving court-ordered sentences in penal colonies here in Ukraine; the majority of whom have been convicted for petty theft. This is down from roughly 20,000 in 2003. It’s a good trend, it’s a positive trend, inspired, in large part, by the Ukraine Juvenile Justice Reform Project.

Beauty Queen Marries 72-Year-Old |
|
 It’s a touching story of true love, or something like that, as 26−year−old Ukrainian beauty queen Aleksandra Nikolaenko got married on 6 January to American billionaire Phil Ruffin, 72. The June− December pair got hitched at the Donald Trump−owned Mar−a−Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida in a black−tie ceremony that, news reports had it, observed both Ukrainian and American wedding traditions. The blushing bride wore a Michael Kors dress. The Kansas native Ruffin, a college drop−out, is rich enough to have made the Forbes list of Ameri− ca’s wealthiest people in the past. He got his start in convenience stores in 1959 and then branched out into stripmalls, hotels, dog tracks, handtrucks, and casinos, according to Forbes. We assume he’s clever enough to have gone into this marriage with his eyes open, and with the help of some good lawyers. Nikolaenko has been Miss Odesa, Miss Southern Ukraine, Miss Ukraine, Miss American Dream, and Miss Tourism International. She has also been a Miss World finalist and competed in the Miss Universe competition.
